Ah, I misunderstood your point. Sure, agreed that if there’s a data set that doesn’t justify any particular conclusion, quoting a subset of it that appears to justify a conclusion is also lying.
Well, the same should apply to arguing a point when you could as well have argued opposite with same ease.
Note, as you said:
In most real-world cases, both true statements and false statements have evidence in favor of them
and i made an example where both true and false statements got “evidence in favour of them” − 50 trials one way, 50 trials other way. Both of those evidences are subset of evidence, that appears to justify a conclusion, and is a lie.
